Bosnian moslem attempts attacks on US embassy in Vienna

A Bosnian Muslim trying to copy the Ottomans in attacking Vienna, he was caught attempting to enter the US embassy in Vienna with a backpack full of explosives and nails.

VIENNA, Austria - A Bosnian who tried to enter the U.S. Embassy in Vienna with a backpack filled with explosives, nails and Islamic literature was arrested Monday after the bag set off a metal detector and the man fled on foot, authorities said.

Police sealed off the neighborhood as a precaution and shut down or rerouted nearby bus and tram lines. Officers patrolled the area with bomb-sniffing dogs.

The suspect was described only as a 42-year-old native of Bosnia-Herzegovina who now lives in the province of Lower Austria, which encircles most of the capital. Police said they made the arrest a short distance from the embassy building in a neighborhood where security is tight.

Vienna police spokeswoman Michaela Raz said explosives experts were examining the contents of the backpack.

“There were a lot of nails in that bag. Had it exploded, it would have had an enormous shrapnel effect,” said Doris Edelbacher, of Austria’s federal counterterrorism office.**No 72 virgins for this chap, more a case of jihad denied...

Remember to keep telling yourself that it is just an isolated incident from the religion of peace...Maybe he was just re-enacting the Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683?
